How to Fake It with a Fae by Amy Boyles

Did not finish book. Stopped at 72%.

I loved the start of this book. It checks all the boxes about what I enjoy reading in a fantasy romance book. The characters are age appropriate (both in thier 30s), the relationship between the MMC and FMC is a true slow burn where you can actually believe that they are falling in love, and the female's character growth resonated with my own dating expereinces. However, when I realized that the MMC's ex girlfriend was setting the FMC to fail I got a bad feeling about how this was going to play out. Thankfully I don't care about spoilers and looked up the ending. A reviewer on reddit SAVED me from having to read the main characters hate fuck to get out of a contract, watch him destroy her, AND her not even stick up for herself. PLUS his anger towards her family makes NO SENSE!!!! Ugh, I'm honestly just incredibly disappointed that this book did not live up to the expectations I was building up in my head.
